Roots must have a inner structure like the other texmf trees. LaTeX
doesn't find files everywhere in a root but only in e.g.
<root>/tex/latex/. Make a "mytexmf-folder" in Eigene Dateien and put
there some folders similar to the one in texmf (you don't have to
build the complete folder structure, a small part is enought.)
